So it's been a month and a half since I went through the receiving end of a breakup with someone I loved very much.

I posted here during that and you guys all gave me good advice to move on. I've done that as best as I could. I deleted her contact info, found closure, unfriended on fb...etc. Anything and everything to get her out of my life and out of my mind.

Since than I should be flipping grateful. I've met several different girls and had a few one night flings. Before I thought I wouldn't be able to get with a girl again but I've remembered that this isn't one of my problems.

My problem is that with every single one I just felt empty and each was like pouring salt in a wound. There's so many other attractive and smart girls out there I can go for but I'm still hung up on what I had.

How long has it taken you guys to be able to be with girls again after a breakup?

You'll know whenever you're ready!

It seems to me, you've tried, but you're not quite there yet.

Closure is good, man. But 1 month and a half is too short to realistically get over someone. You did great by unfriending her. This will not be easy, only time can heal. What you had before was not right for you.

After the receiving end of my breakup, it took me a year to date casually again. The ex and I kept in touch for 5 years, which was a stupid idea. We had many friends in common too...

Your right only time can heal. It stings more tonight though because my good friend/roommate is going downtown with my girlfriend + her friends for one of their birthday parties and I will also be there with a different group of friends. Fun.

Wow **** happens. I hate seeing my ex at bars even if I'm talking to other girls. The burn is real and it's like a black hole spawned into my heat. Peace.

Too bad we live in a small town. **** this. First I get smashed by a ****ing car while walking across the street and come 2 inches from dying. Oh great now I get a nasty head injury and can never feel my hand again on top of PTSD than just my damn luck the love of my life breaks up with me I'm just killing it. To top that **** off I ****ed my occipital nerve and have a chronic migraine for the rest of my life...completely incurable.

I've been trying so hard to do this right but I'm not sure if I want to live anymore......

Sorry for being real but we can't all live dreamy lives and some of us get dealt **** cards. Where can I seek help for this crap I hope I figure it out....

What is this, mental health central? You've gone over these issues in several threads. You need to see a doctor for some talk therapy. The relationships forum is not the place for you anymore.

Get professional help.

Not here, man. Go see a therapist and stick with it.

Good luck to you.
